On large disambiguation pages, organizing by subject area helps readers find the page they want.
Readers should be able to find their target with minimal reading, by:
- Identifying the relevant section from level 2 headers, then
- Identifying the relevant subsection (if present) from level 3 (and deeper) headers, then
- Identifying the topic they want from the entries in that (sub)section
without having to descend into irrelevant sections, and without having to read anything twice. This page discusses three principles that enable that goal, and suggested headings to use.
Guidance for individual entries is at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages.
Cite error: There are <ref group=lower-alpha> tags or {{efn}} templates on this page, but the references will not show without a {{reflist|group=lower-alpha}} template or {{notelist}} template (see the help page).
